4:04 pm
which rules garza remained on the sidelines during the latest israeli bombardments . we asked the middle east expert widow steinberg, why? well, islamic jihad is traditionally the more radical organization that is strategically aligned to iran. so there is a major ideological and strategic gap between the 2 organizations. but i think that the main reason for hamas are staying on the sidelines is that the organization only entered a very violent confrontation with israel in may. 2021. and it still recovering from, from the brutal israeli on thought on the basis of the organization. it simply didn't want any major escalation. right right now. and part of the reason is probably also that israel has losing some restrictions on the gaza strip
4:05 pm
after may 2021. and how much the doesn't want to, doesn't want to lose the well well, this benefit of, of the latest confrontation right now. and that was that we don't stamberg from the german institute for international and security affairs speaking to us at moments ago. we want to turn our attention now to the united states, where the u. s. senate has passed a bill to spend hundreds of billions of dollars on climate and health care programs . the bill passed the senate by $851.00 to $15.00 margin. a democratic vice president come with harris casting the tie breaking vote. it offers tax incentives for reducing carbon emissions and aims to flash the cost of prescription drugs. us house is expected to approve the legislation next week. mister brown. democrat sir, chuck schumer is the senate majority leader. and he said the legislation would have
4:06 pm
a major impact. take a lesson, as you know, it's been a long, tough, and winding road. our bill reduces inflation. lowest costs creates millions of manufacturing jobs, enhances our energy security, and is the boldest climate package he was history. i'm join our firm at washington d. c. barbara chief inez set, pauline as good to have you with this. so quoting the senate majority leader, the boldest climate package in history, just make it very concrete for us, give us a sense of the impact that this bill could have on every day. americans. i think textual or is right there. this is really one of the most progressive climate pictures pushed through congress possible. so a lot of the package actually focuses on incentivizing clean energy projects and electric vehicles, while taxing and eliminating fossil fuel projects. on the other side,
4:07 pm
just check tumor just said that your as greenhouse gas emissions will be slashed by 40 percent by 2030. this is not very far away. and you know, like even though the progressive thing has been somewhat critical at some of the legislation, this was definitely the best outcome for the white house and democrats on capitol hill possible the best outcome. but the bill still falls short on other major promises. as you've alluded to, right, so much of the compromise has been around getting a one sen, the democratic senator john mention of west virginia to warden famer. and as you such as just said, light was a very, very close call. only 155. it's already $51.00 to $50.00 a votes. so the white house and democrats have been negotiating, tireless or less with him for 4 months. and the package now the package was which was voted on our offers provisions that will increase pipeline projects despite the
4:08 pm
compromise. herb herb is despite the climate provisions which are the centrist democrats, wondered so much of the compromise is around certain corporate tax breaks that were eliminated, that the centrist democrats, again, wanted eliminated. now, as you know, this is a mid term election year. democrats not doing very well in the polls right now. do you feel that with the passing of this bill it could be the boost that they're looking for? come november. yes sir. the poll numbers have been really rocky for the dental grad, so they were definitely hoping for success or the problem laila is, you know, before people will feel the outcome of this legislation. and also the infrastructure of language was actually also a huge success from the bite and administration as some months ago. this will take years. what is very real, for the voters,
4:09 pm
are the gas prices and the inflation. and by the end of the day, this might be more dominates when it comes to election in less than 3 months. washington, d. c, a, berty, for in as paul. thank you very much. ukraine is calling for a demilitarized zone around europe's biggest nuclear power station. ukraine accuses russia of shelling the apparition plant. russia denies attacking it. gave me, wow, says artillery strikes, damage, radiation sensors, and injured a worker, the head of the united nations, antonio dash has warned that any attack on a nuclear power plant is quote, suicidal he wants access for international inspectors. and our correspondence matty has billing or is in the ukrainian capital cave and others earlier on the situation at the nuclear power plant. we cannot determine where this
4:10 pm
attack came from. the plant has been under russian occupation since the very beginning of the war. a few days after the beginning of the war, the russians went on to the site and took control of it. ukrainian workers are still running the plant, but to the ukrainian atomic energy authority. they don't have control over what they are doing there. um and the, the international organizations also do not have access to them. it's of course, or something that russia has time and time use to, to threaten with dire consequences if you granted this about. and sir, it has used it as a shield that established her to, to position military equipment there. her hoping that her ukraine wouldn't dare to attack the facility ukraine has attacked positions near the facility with loitering, munition loitering, munitions are drones that are fly over. there are fluent into a site and that explode on side. they are controllable. they, they can be, if in,
4:11 pm
when they fly, they can be or the flights can be canceled, or midway and etc, etc, etc. are something that's more controllable. rockets, of course, is a different story. rockets once they fly, they fly. most of modern rockets are adjustable or when they're already in the air, but they can not be stopped. mathias billing or they're reporting for you from ukraine. less so tell you now about the other stories from around the world. you a secretary of state to antony lincoln is in south africa, setting out washington's policies for sub saharan african countries. his 5 nation, tor is seen as a chance to win support for the u. s and counter russian influence over the war in ukraine. taiwan as condemned china for extending military drills off its coast into a 5th date. chinese just some ships have been crossing the taiwan strait, median line and firing missiles over ty paid the exercises were sparked by a visit to taiwan by us house speaker,
4:12 pm
nancy pelosi chance military government has signed a deal with opposition groups to begin peace talks as these fire is in place until the negotiations begin later this month. the deal ends 5 months of talks and katara, but the main verbal group has refused to sign. the accord. in the middle of the course of greece, as prime minister says he was not aware that his country's national intelligence agency had wire, tapped, an opposition politicians phone in an address to the nation. here casa mr. tucker said the surveillance was elite was legal rather wrong about the intelligence service has resigned over the scandal. it will be a full mouth over level double normally gives medicine for that and germany, it's the country center or left social democratic party has ruled. there are no grounds for it to expel the former chancellor gerhard schroeder over his ties to russia. the party says mister schroeder did not break its rules by working for some
4:13 pm
of russia's biggest companies. here hodge, florida was chancellor of germany from 1998 to 2005, a power politician who always kept the interests of business in mind. he was also known for his close friendship with ladyman, who did it all seemed to work out fine back then. but listened to how the head of the party shred a once laid describes him now. gotcha. so yeah, it's weird. it has been acting as a business man for many years now, and we should stop receiving him as an elder statesmen, former chancellor. he owns his money working for russian state owned enterprises. and if you ask what he's done wrong is defensive. vladimir putin against the accusation of war. crimes is absurd. it's absorbed. after his time, as chancellor schroeder soon joined the board of nor stream the pipeline operator
4:14 pm
long, that the center of europe's battle with russia over gas. his various rose working for russian energy firms, gas problem, and rose near reportedly and him hundreds of thousands of europe's there was criticism of those relationships from the start. but when shred, as spoke up on behalf of the kremlin during russia's invasion of ukraine, attempts began within the s p. d. to remove him from the party in an interview this month should have said russia wanted to negotiate and into the conflict. and he seemed to suggest that he could help that happen. ukraine's president milady. miss lensky was clearly angered by his intervention. he called it disgusting problem with the chancellor shots. also an s p d member has been reticent on what should happen to his predecessor. he has called
4:15 pm
on shredder to resign from his jobs at russian companies, but he's clearly worried about the damage already caused from the mystery. so i don't think it's right again, hunter to hold these offices and i think it would be correct for him to give them up whether it's harming the s p d. given that everyone is aware, we did not agree with it. i don't know. i have noticed, but i don't think it is global sharpness. god should has stepped back from some of his roles, but many social democrats want to exclude him from their ranks. i've to welcome now holger becker from the std. he's a member of the german under stock. thank you so much for taking out the time to take our questions sir. i'm want to start off right off the bat. i mean, if maintaining close ties to the president of a country that's essentially violating international law. and personally earning money from activities in that said countries energy firm does not violate s p d party rules. what does, is there a red line for the s b day?
4:16 pm
he has indeed m you have to keep in mind that expelling a person from a party in germany has pretty high hurdles. and it's basically a judicial argument while his position politically is totally isolated. and i mean, you will not find any one i think within the body who will support his political positions. you have to keep in mind that and the legal stand point, which is the basis of today's decision not to expel him from the as we d. m is, is on a, on a different platform, you have to make sure that or, or you have to prove that you really violating and you, you do harm to a party or any harming then how did they appoint to become alive. so if interrupting, is he not actively hiring the s b d? yeah, i mean of course, whenever we are out and, and speak with people, it's typically a question which comes up pretty quickly is how do you stand or how do position
4:17 pm
yourself with regards to, to short as position. and it's pretty clear that everybody is actually hoping that he is leaving, leaving the party voluntarily. because indeed, there is very little common ground these days with his possessions. but as i said, officially, dispelling him from a party and is a much more difficult situation. okay, i understand so it's difficult to expel him. he is not leaving voluntarily, he's staying with the a speedy, at least for now that that's when he's signaling. is there a split within you and hardy? how divided is the speedy on this very issue of mr. schroeder and the certainly there is actually no division, as i said before, on the political crimes. i think he will not have any support in his positions in defending it in, in the way he is defending russia's policy or policies. so there are liter sending yes. the total and the numbers. yeah. so that, that it's there that they don't,
4:18 pm
they do not agree with his, his points of view and, and his relations with the russian leader. yet at the same time as regional committee says, well, but also, you know, we don't see grounds to expel him. so which one is it? an, as i said it's, it's, it's a thin line. we have to walk here and i think her, our party leadership has made that abundantly clear that he has apps or 0 support from the party on any level. or on the other hand, as i said, it's a judicial process expelling someone from a party. and therefore, i think it's much more important that the s b d stands together on the political side and makes it clear that his statements are not at all a statement of the speedy. and that he is totally isolated within the party. so will there be a legal battle now to expel him? and he will have, i mean, there, there is now a 2 week grace period were,
4:19 pm
are both parties can actually earn, intervene and ask for a revision. and we'll have to see what's going to happen. let's look at it and from a different point of view, given mister shutters very close ties to the russian president that your party ever consider using mister schroeder as a potential mediator in the russia ukraine crisis. and to be honest, in the 1st days of the war against ukraine, i think that was some kind of hope. some people had and i have to be honest myself . i also had that high hope to see, i mean, even if it was not acceptable, that he would still have positions within let's a gas from or so the boards, but his political relationship that his personal relationship to, to put, he would have been away to try to influence and him, and that's what should i should try to do with his 1st visit in turkey in the beginning of the war. but what he should have done was when these talks failed,
4:20 pm
he should have stepped down and immediately distance himself from put in. and as he did not do this, i think that's when he lost any support within the city. in a few words, sir, i have to let you go. how damaging has this whole episode been? yeah, i think her, as i said it, it turns up in basically any conversation we have on the streets and yes, it certainly has a certain degree of damage, but i think we can make it clear that he is isolated within the party. so he's not speaking for the a speedy any more hog or becker and the s v d member of the term the nasdaq. so thank you very much for your time. appreciate it. you're welcome. thank you so much. we go to the one of african, our kenyans are going to the polls this week to pick a new president. both the men contenders have been trying to win over the last undecided voters. but one group has already made up its mind not to vote. as can years young people, many have lost faith in their politicians. ah,
